|
||||
|
||||
This driver let you use your own RC controller plugged into the
|
||||
adapter that comes with PhoenixRC [1]_ or other compatible adapters.
|
||||
|
||||
The adapter supports 7 analog channels and 1 digital input switch.
|
||||
|
||||
Notes
|
||||
=====
|
||||
|
||||
Many RC controllers is able to configure which stick goes to which channel.
|
||||
This is also configurable in most simulators, so a matching is not necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
The driver is generating the following input event for analog channels:
|
||||
|
||||
+---------+----------------+
|
||||
| Channel | Event |
|
||||
+=========+================+
|
||||
| 1 | ABS_X |
|
||||
+---------+----------------+
|
||||
| 2 | ABS_Y |
|
||||
+---------+----------------+
|
||||
| 3 | ABS_RX |
|
||||
+---------+----------------+
|
||||
| 4 | ABS_RY |
|
||||
+---------+----------------+
|
||||
| 5 | ABS_RUDDER |
|
||||
+---------+----------------+
|
||||
| 6 | ABS_THROTTLE |
|
||||
+---------+----------------+
|
||||
| 7 | ABS_MISC |
|
||||
+---------+----------------+
|
||||
|
||||
The digital input switch is generated as an `BTN_A` event.
|
||||
|
||||
Manual Testing
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
To test this driver's functionality you may use `input-event` which is part of
|
||||
the `input layer utilities` suite [2]_.
|
||||
|
||||
For example::
|
||||
|
||||
> modprobe pxrc
|
||||
> input-events <devnr>
|
||||
|
||||
To print all input events from input `devnr`.
